With I4F representing portfolios of patents across multiple categories, the new system groups patents falling under the same category in so-called&nbsp; \u201cclusters\u201d.&nbsp; This offers I4F licensees more options to pick and choose patents, or groups of patents, that best meet their most current business needs or create new business and revenue streams.&nbsp; PCC also provides full transparency on the composition of license fees to obtain the best return on investment while avoiding unnecesary payments for unused patents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clustered patents identified and represented by I4F cover :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Locking<\/li><li>Surface Finishing<\/li><li>Materials and Panel Composition<\/li><li>Manufacturing Processes<\/li><li>Board and Wall Panels<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I4F will share more details on its patent clusters with visitors to its booth (number E1 C27 in the international hall). To book an appointment or become a licensee, please contact David Song (david@innovations4flooring.com, +86 139 164 70782).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>John Rietveldt, I4F\u2019s CEO, comments, \u201cWe think it\u2019s about time global flooring industry players were offered more choice and transparency when it comes to patented innovations.&nbsp; Our menu means manufacturers can select intellectual property that best suits their business.&nbsp; And, our licensees will be able to regularly evaluate which cluster provides them with optimal patent protection and returns in line with market changes and new products. As we develop pricing for specific families of patents within each cluster, this flexibility will increase even more, supporting our goal to revolutionize the global flooring industry through freedom of choice.&nbsp; I4F licensees can choose what they want and know exactly what they are paying for!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"block file-list\">\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/180316-I4F-NEWS-RELEASE-PATENT-CLUSTERS-CONCEPT-ENG-1.pdf\" class=\"more\" target=\"blank\">ENGLISH VERSION<\/a><\/p>\n    <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/app\/uploads\/2021\/06\/180316-I4F-NEWS-RELEASE-PATENT-CLUSTERS-CONCEPT-Chinese-1.pdf\" class=\"more\" target=\"blank\">CHINESE VERSION<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n\n\n        <section class=\"block news feed latest\" id=\"block_60d48e06d8219\">\n          <div class=\"container\">\n            <h6 class=\"title text-center\">\u6700\u65b0\u52a8\u6001<\/h6>\n            <div class=\"row pb-5\">\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 31\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>i4F and Unilin Technologies\u00a0enter into non\u2011assert agreement on water\u2011repellent coating patents for laminate and wood flooring<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/i4f-and-unilin-technologies-enter-into-non%e2%80%91assert-agreement-on-water%e2%80%91repellent-coating-patents-for-laminate-and-wood-flooring\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 3\u6708 25\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>Parkett Magazin &#8211; i4F: John Rietveldt in an interview of the month<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/parkett-magazin-i4f-john-rietveldt-in-an-interview-of-the-month\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"col-md-4\">\n                <p class=\"date\">2026\u5e74 1\u6708 27\u65e5<\/p>\n                <p>Lioncore selects i4F as exclusive licensor for its new patented L-SPC lightweight rigid core product build-up and composition<\/p>\n                <p><a href=\"https:\/\/i4f.com\/zh-hans\/article\/lioncore-selects-i4f-as-exclusive-licensor-for-its-new-patented-l-spc-lightweight-rigid-core-product-build-up-and-composition\/\" class=\"more\">\u9605\u8bfb\u6587\u7ae0<\/a><\/p>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/section>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":14,"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-1573","article","type-article","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.8.1 -
